Get yourself an SDS, I'll be honest mines been used a dozen times but it will cut through what you need.

I'm sorry OP, I'd hate to be in this position. It's why I've not put dry verge on my existing wet verge that cracked when moving tiles to add eaves protectors. You now are in the position where you know more than the cowboy installing it. Maybe contact citizens advice bureau for some free...

It's one of these...

I've got a Maki and the hex key on the bolt has gone so it's stuck. Thinking I grind down either side and get a wrench on the actual bolt OR get a screw extractor. Are there any other options for me to get the bolt off easily or is it this primitive?

What an absolute joke, hope you get them to sort it out properly.

The owner had patio laid to about 30cm then had concrete in the gap (push push push all the time). They just had decking installed over the patio and concrete with a pergola with slanted roof directly running off towards the wall with no gutter. No cavity in there.

Thanks. My neighbour has built right upto the dpc line with no drain so was concerned.

Other option is I can clamp on the box ends. Just been out to see how the works gone on my garage, eaves protectors work perfectly not a drip on the fascia so they will definately worth the effort.

Hi, Is this normal for a row below the DPC line?

I have a ladder to manoeuvre on the opposite sides and it's only 9mm capping not full board. Also The soffit will be hollow board so T&G. The platform is more to get above the gutter line and do the Eaves protectors and get the tiles pushed back. Mitower two man is 1.6M Wide, i've got an 8m...

I've only just done the back of my garage to learn how to do it. Once you have it punched in with two pins it will be stable. Put an overhanging bit of soffit or fascia on box end side so it lines up. Towers can take two people so I might rope in someone after a crate of beer lol.

This is my problem area, I may just get a quote for this side of the property. It's in the pictures (google maps crp sorry) The apex starts 3/4 over the side of the house so a cherry may work and I could work on the tiles, not preferred though. Hire for a platform for 19 days is 500 odd, on...

I think I will keep an eye out for a used tower.

Hi, Ive started fascia/guttering and am seeking some scaffold options. Had a quote for my detached 4 bed @ 1800 quid for a month . That included; -Front back that is two storey working height -Side that is 6m to a flat gable section -Over apex garage Sounded expensive to me. Other...

It was a national builder in the late 90's.

I was intending on patching up, I went in a bit ham fisted on the first tile here and it manifested. On the dry verge option I am looking into this and on how to install these on existing tiles and I am not sure it will work based on the battens only running up to the end of the fascia.

Doing fascias and guttering and tried getting the Eaves trays on....just crumbled like fudge. I'll be filling in the gaps as I'm a DIY'er. Is there a particular method to removing tiles (shown) to get eaves trays on? feels like buddy hard work to get them off at the moment. I'm working at...

Yeh, and it was ****...like jelly and didn't bond enough to the fascia.

Yes, it's possible to do that but it slants at the difference in the batten and bottom of existing fascia. It looked a bit heath Robinson when I've done the back of the garage. Not too bothered about two storeys up though.

Its plywood
